Repost of original story written by NOAA PMEL. NOAA and partner scientists recently completed two successful field tests in the US Arctic merging new technologies and traditional ship surveys to assess real-time phytoplankton species distributions in response to surface warming. The rapid warming of the Arctic Ocean has led to earlier sea ice retreats in […]

Five autonomous profiling floats were deployed from a commercial vessel into the depths of the Caribbean Sea to improve ocean and hurricane research. Captain Vassili Pugatsov and the crew of the M/V Bulk Xaymaca, in cooperation with the Argo Float Group at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, deployed these ocean observing instruments, known as Argo floats,
Each summer, NOAA provides internship opportunities for undergraduate students through programs such as the José E. Serrano Educational Partnership Program with Minority Serving Institutions (EPP/MSI) and the Ernest F. Hollings Undergraduate Scholarship. These programs, among other educational opportunities for K12, undergraduate, and graduate students, enable students interested in oceanic and atmospheric research and policy to
